Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Japan and Costa Rica has kicked off!
  • 5' - Celso Borges has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Gerson Torres suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Francisco Calvo, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 56' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
